Shopping small is not limited to one day in November! Visit these five food spots to satisfy your stomach and give back to the local community. Every establishment on this list is small-business-owned and operated by your Greater Boston neighbors!
Brookline Lunch
Don’t let the Cambridge address at 9 Brookline St. turn you away. Brookline Lunch, a meager 20 minutes from BLS, has been owned and operated by a Palestinian family since 1937. You may have heard of their baklava pancakes, but those lacking a sweet tooth can also indulge in the wide variety of their egg-based breakfasts.
Flour Bakery
A personal favorite, Flour Bakery is famous for their sticky buns, which were featured on Food Network. Their sandwiches, especially the breakfast egg sandwich, are just as delightful as any of their sweet treats. Owned by Joanne Chang, a Taiwanese-American woman, Flour Bakery has multiple locations; their closest store to Boston Latin School is just 15 minutes away at 30 Dalton St.
Mike and Patty’s
Put “breakfast sandwiches” and “Boston” in one sentence, and your answer is Mike and Patty’s. Locally sourced and always fresh, this shop’s variety of mouth-watering breakfast sandwiches includes both vegan and sweet options. There are five locations, and the closest is 17 minutes from BLS at 388 Centre St.
Milkweed
Just a short walk from our school on 1508 Tremont St., Milkweed’s delicious menu will satisfy any craving — sweet or savory. The skillet cookie, a decadent “pizookie” topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle, is a standout. Opened in 2017, the restaurant and cafe serves tasty sandwiches, soups, drinks and more. The spacious atmosphere is perfect for studying, chatting with a friend or relaxing after a long day.
Solid Ground Cafe
Known for their egg sandwiches, Solid Ground Cafe is only a short walk from BLS at 742 Huntington Ave. Locally owned and independent, this cafe has delicious coffee. Their seasonal menu has creative drinks like their flavored lattes and macchiatos, so come try them before the specials end!
